[3dem] FW: Group Leader opportunity in Molecular Infection Medicine at MIMS

[Lars-Anders Carlson]

Dear EM community,
See below for a well-funded group leader position in infection biology at our university. It is my understanding that MIMS warmly welcomes candidates with a (cryo-)EM focus, as also stated below. I am not involved in the selection process but would be happy to answer or pass on any queries about Umeå, our infection biology community and our fantastic EM facility.

Best wishes,
Lars



Dear All,

The Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden, MIMS, is seeking a Group Leader in Molecular Infection Medicine.


The topic includes but is not limited to research on the biology of bacteria, viruses, parasites and the microbiome and how these interact with the immune system of the host. MIMS has a strong track record of research into microbial (including viral) pathogenesis, and provides excellent access to national research infrastructure, including cutting edge cryo-electron microscopy and animal biosafety level 3 (ABSL3) facilities.

We seek a talented early career researcher who has already produced excellent research work with relevance to molecular infectious medicine, is ready to work independently and shows potential to be a research leader.

MIMS intends to recruit a new Group Leader (Researcher) to start in the coming year. Funding is first allocated for a five-year period, with the option of extension up to a total of nine years conditional upon a successful external evaluation in the fourth year.

MIMS Group Leaders are expected to conduct a successful research program in synergy with the multidisciplinary research environments in which MIMS is integrated and also participate in collaborations and joint activities that promote research and exchanges within The Nordic EMBL Partnership for Molecular Medicine.<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.nordicemblpartnership.org/__;!!Mih3wA!ETR4paKaCBDr8V1kjt8uF6MHcVlIFVRT3VHshAh2uqtnGsgsma9gicmbcN5DTZ3ZU3MIFSD5d8carvj68aLlXTdnG79OSw$ >

Organizationally, the position in question will be affiliated to a suitable department. Affiliation will be decided in consultations with the successful candidate and potential host department, based on where their research best fits.

Please find more details via the attached flyers (a 1-pager, and a more detailed one), via the MIMS website ( https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.umu.se/en/mims/__;!!Mih3wA!ETR4paKaCBDr8V1kjt8uF6MHcVlIFVRT3VHshAh2uqtnGsgsma9gicmbcN5DTZ3ZU3MIFSD5d8carvj68aLlXTdXBI7hFw$  ), or via the job announcement in Umeå University's job portal ( https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://umu.varbi.com/en/what:job/jobID:948668/__;!!Mih3wA!ETR4paKaCBDr8V1kjt8uF6MHcVlIFVRT3VHshAh2uqtnGsgsma9gicmbcN5DTZ3ZU3MIFSD5d8carvj68aLlXTePyn1ZKA$  ).

Application deadline: 15 September 2026.

We are grateful if you promote this opportunity in your networks, thank you!

Kind regards,
Nora
